Iraq Conflict: Iran 'ready to help' ~ link ~ Iran knows that this is an attack against not only Iraq but itself and Syria as well. They know that they are walking into a trap here, but the stakes have been raised to a point where they cannot walk away from it. They no doubt hope to contain events, much as Putin has in the Ukraine, however, they are now "on the ground" in Iraq. Be aware that the scenario leading to a General Middle East War and the Third World War is NOW UNDERWAY!!!Stirling

Iran is ready to assist
the Iraqi government in its battle against extremist Sunni insurgents,
President Hassan Rouhani has said.

He denied Iran had sent troops to fight in Iraq. However, an
Iraqi source told the BBC that 130 Iranian Revolutionary Guards had
entered the country to provide military training and advice.

Iran sends thousands of troops into Iraq to fight ISIS troops ~ link ~ So much for the "no Iran troops in Iraq" denial from Rouhani. We are now moving deeper into the End Times. Prepare for global chaos, economic collapse, global war, austerity fascism, and high-tech police state crackdowns!!! Stirling Iran has sent 2,000 advance troops to Iraq in the past 48 hours to help tackle a jihadist insurgency, a senior Iraqi official has told the Guardian.

The
confirmation comes as the Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani, said Iran
was ready to support Iraq from the mortal threat fast spreading through
the country, while the Iraqi prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, called on citizens to take up arms in their country's defence.

US orders supercarrier USS George H. W. Bush battle group into Gulf waters near Iran and Iraq todayThe carrier USS George H.W. Bush will be accompanied by the
guided-missile cruiser USS Philippine Sea and the destroyer USS Truxtun. ~ link ~ link ~ This article only gives two other battle group ships as being involved, the guided-missile cruiser USS Philippine Sea and the guided-missile destroyer USS Truxtun. USN supercarrier battle groups always consists of the carrier, and at least four guided-missile escorts (generally Aegis cruisers and destroyers), and at least one support ship and one or two hunter-killer nuclear-powered attack submarines. It may be that ships already in the Persian Gulf are making up the difference. In any case, don't buy into the mainstream news media Sheeple spin: That the ISIS extremists are a failure of American policy and that we are opposed to them and are acting to stop them, and may work with Iran to do so. In reality, we have and are supporting them, funding them, arming them, and ultimately commanding them!!! See my analysis that explains what is happening. And if you would, please do me a favor and post this at various sites and pass it onto your friends. It appears that we are really in deep trouble now, yet most have not make the connections. StirlingIraq Conflict: RT LIVE UPDATES ~ link

Iraq manages to slow down ISIS advance toward Baghdad ~ link ~ An offensive by insurgents that threatens to dismember Iraq

Ukraine junta's military transport aircraft (an Il-76) shot down - 49 killed ~ link ~ Also see ~ link ~ The Russians have begun supplying man-pack ground-to-air missiles and other high tech weapons to the separatists. The effects are beginning to show.StirlingWhile the world's short attention span may have been diverted to Iraq
where the ISIS insurgents are now knocking on Baghdad's door, and with
it - Iraq's vast southern oil fields and infrastructure (which if taken
offline would send oil up to $200 according to T. Boone Pickens).
the "out of sight, out of mind" conflict in Ukraine, which the western
media dropped covering like a hot potato some time in early May for
reasons not entirely known, continues to escalate and where the latest
outbreak of violence took place overnight when a Ukraine military
transport Il-76 was allegedly shot down by separatists in the city of
Lugansk as it was about to land. As a result of the crash all 49 Ukrainian service personnel on board
were killed. The death toll would be the biggest suffered by government
forces in a single incident since Ukraine’s government launched a
military operation against pro-Russian separatists in the east.

Junta's Il-76 military transport plane shot down - 49 killed - with photos and video ~ link ~ This is the moment Pro-Russian
separatists shot down a Ukrainian military transport plane in the east
of the country, killing all 49 people on board.

A
CCTV camera at a nearby roundabout in Luhansk captured the moment a
surface-to-air missile was fired by the rebels, and the huge explosion
that followed when it hit the ground.

Porky vows response to junta's plane loss ~ link ~ Ukrainian President Petro
Poroshenko has declared Sunday a day of mourning and vowed to punish
those responsible for shooting down a military plane in the eastern part

bombarding of a local police station.

Electronic 'war games' blamed for civilian airliners vanishing off radars across Europe ~ link ~ One more sign that NATO is very serious about a war with Russia soon!!! Stirling

Electronic military exercises were to blame for the mysterious
disappearance of dozens of planes from air-traffic control screens in
the heart of Europe, Slovak authorities have said. About 50 planes
temporarily disappeared from radars in Austria, Germany, the
Czech Republic, and Slovakia between June 5 and June 10,
Austria's flight safety monitor said.German and Czech air traffic control also reported brief
disappearances.
Slovakia blamed the outages on planned military exercises.

Oil Prices rise on Middle East fears ~ link ~ This coupled with the expected shutoff of Russian natural gas to the Ukraine and to Europe (as it must travel through the Ukraine) could have a very serious impact on the dying global economy!Stirling
